If you are seriously injured, or if a loved one died in a car accident, dealing with an insurance company is the last thing you want to worry about. Many times, an insurance company will make you an offer within days of the accident, before you have time to assess how injured you or your loved ones may be. Often, they will make statements that the offer will expire and if you do not accept the offer, they will close your case. These tactics may make it tempting to accept the first offer just to resolve and end the claim. These offers are often well below the amount of restitution / compensation that you deserve, let alone need to cover your medical expenses, ongoing medical treatment, loss of earnings, and any other additional costs which you may incur.
Even if you are not what an insurance company may consider “seriously injured,” an attorney can help maximize your recovery of medical expenses, loss of earnings, and pain and suffering. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, yearly wildfires, and unrest in the country, some (not all) low speed “soft-tissue” claims would not justify the help of an attorney. However, times have changed, and Insurance companies are now more aggressive with their low ball offers.
No matter the severity of the collision or injury, an experienced Redding personal Injury attorney from Landsem Law Office can help you recover the full value of your case. If there is an incident where an experienced attorney will not benefit your case, we will let you know and point you in the right direction at no cost. After all, we are here to help you. -
There are three essential elements to a personal injury claim caused by someone else’s wrongful conduct, such as causing a motor vehicle collision or slip and fall:
Is there liability? Is the other person that caused this incident responsible (at fault) for causing your injuries?
Were you injured? No matter how negligent or wrongful the other person’s conduct, if you or a loved one were not injured, whether physically, emotionally, or financially, there is nothing to recover.
Compensation. Is there a way to collect from the person who caused you injuries? In nearly all cases, the person who caused your injuries has insurance. In the instances that the person does not have insurance, often your own insurances can compensate you for your damages – these are often referred to as underinsured or uninsured motorist claims.
-
Often, the driver who caused the hit and run collision is at fault and responsible for compensating your for your injuries and property damages. If that driver is caught, his or her insurance company will be responsible. However, if the hit and run driver does not have insurance or if the hit and run driver is not caught, the burden may fall on your insurance company to reimburse you or your loved one for their injuries and expenses.
California Law has strict and complex requirements to assert a claim to your own insurance company. It is imperative that you call the police immediately, without delay. Do not wait. Call the police to report the hit and run as soon as it is safe to do so or your right to pursue this claim could be compromised. After receiving any emergency medical treatment, an attorney should be consulted.

The Short Answer is no. An insurance adjuster will often pretend to be your best friend or give you the impression they are here to help you. Unfortunately, they do not account to you. They are accountable to the insurance company. They can and will use everything you have told them against you when it comes time to settle the claim.
An experienced personal injury attorney will provide and interpret the information to the insurance companies that they need to make a reasonable settlement offer. This protects your privacy and prevents insurance companies from misunderstanding key facts that can devalue your case. -
The initial consultation is always free. We have been in your shoes as a motor vehicle accident survivor and we want to help you and your loved ones get through the insurance claims process with as little stress and hassle as possible.
Personal Injury claims, such as car accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, and sexual harassment cases, are handled on a contingency fee basis. This means we handle your case from start to finish with no out-of-pocket expense to you. You are only charged a fee when we are successful in settling your claim or receiving a jury verdict and we will not settle a claim without your permission to do so.
Additionally, Landsem Law Office advances the costs to pursue your claim and lawsuit if the insurance company fails to offer a fair and reasonable settlement. There are absolutely no out of pocket expenses. Expenses such as obtaining medical records and filing lawsuits are only reimbursed if there is a recovery in your case. In some cases, we can help arrange some of your medical expense to be paid out of your settlement, allowing you or your loved one to focus on healing without the financial burden which may have been affordable (or not) under normal circumstances.

We provide free property damage claim handling when we handle your injury claim. An insurance company’s valuation report is occasionally inaccurate, or they may be disputing liability. When this occurs, their offer to settle your property damage claim may be exceptionally low. We are here to help.
